History of This 1959 Aston Martin DB4 ‘Lightweight’

This is the most famous and successful Aston Martin DB4 Lightweight — the iconic Marsh Plant car driven by racing legend Gerry Marshall to an incredible 26 podium finishes. It was in this very car that Marshall claimed his 600th career victory at Snetterton in August 2000.

Now under the care of Chicane, Aston Martin Specialists, this historically significant DB4 has undergone a full recommissioning to return it to competitive form. Look out for this iconic car over the next few months, it has been meticulously prepared for a second chapter on the track.

Motor Sport Magazine once called Gerry Marshall “one of the best racing drivers of all time” — and soon, his legendary DB4 will be back where it belongs: flat out on the circuit.
